Pride

You have really improved over the years. I can honestly say you have grown as a photographer, and I feel you will go far! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l…" width="26" height="17" alt="" title="Love"/>

Vision: That gaze, very serene, and perfectly captured. I love the pose, and the body can juuust be seen in the background. Lovely sharpness and clarity of fur. Truly magnificent!

Originality: I always grade hard on this, because with the arts, there is always room for improvement, and a "new" type of shot! Do not be afraid to go above and beyond... literally! Try new angles, under, over, sideways. While this glare is spectacular, it would be more original if shot from below, looking over and past you. Of course this is just an opinion! For what it is, divine (:

Technique: The overall photo is a bit bright, a little washed out, and not enough shadows. I know you are not huge on editing the original like I am, but the use of the burn tool can REALLY add some flare. Even darkening the background a little will significantly enhance the ambiance of the mood.

Impact: I love the photo. Adore it. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l…" width="26" height="17" alt="" title="Love"/>
